Decades of experience advocating for clients in the transportation industry in Iowa and nationally.
Transportation law is very specialized and our many years of experience permits us to effectively handle all aspects of a trucking company’s needs. Our litigation attorneys at Simmons Perrine PLC regularly handle accident investigations, cargo claims and various employment related issues, including workers’ compensation claims. We also represent a number of insurance companies who provide coverage for transportation-related claims. Our business attorneys counsel many trucking companies related to debt collection, mergers and acquisitions, operations, contract drafting and tax advice and planning.
Our transportation attorneys defend clients in cases of injury, wrongful death, and property loss throughout Iowa. We handle the defense of cargo claims, often limiting the liability of our motor carrier clients. Services begin with rapid response to accidents in which preliminary reconstruction investigations and strategy begin within minutes and hours of the accident.
Our employment law attorneys counsel on HR related issues and disputes and defend claims regarding all types of discrimination, wage and hour issues, salary disputes and workers’ compensation cases. We have experience defending transportation companies in even the most complex class action cases.
We counsel clients with the formation and interpretation of transportation contracts, including indemnification clauses, fleet maintenance agreements, shipper-carrier contracts, freight brokerage agreements and more.
We have extensive experience representing transportation insurers in coverage issues, including contracts between carriers and insurance companies and carriers or owner-operators of leased vehicles.
Our practitioners have accomplished transactions of all sizes involving transportation companies. We have advised clients on transactions of varying sizes from complex mergers to the sale of small family-owned companies.
We have over 40 years of experience representing all phases of creditors’ rights and bankruptcy issues, including complex mortgage foreclosures, receivership’s and commercial business reorganizations and liquidations. We also aid in pre-litigation and pre-bankruptcy workout plans.
